Chapter 37 Si Huajin Escaped
"You...you're actually alright!"
Seeing Liu Chun walk out as if nothing had happened, the man in the suit was somewhat shocked, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.
He had seen everything clearly from upstairs; it was obviously Liu Chun fighting Lord Wu Tuo, who was constantly at a disadvantage and almost killed him in the end.
Although it's unclear why Liu Chun ultimately won, there must be something special about him that caused even the novice Wu Tuo to fall to his defeat.
"Who exactly are you? How did you manage to defeat the after-school care teacher?"
"You don't need to know. Just remember that we have the upper hand right now, and you are the losers."
Liu Chun acted very naturally throughout the process, showing no signs of being seriously injured.
To be honest, the man in the suit panicked.
"What we just said still stands. If you lay down your weapons and leave here obediently, you can leave alive. Now, make your choice."
Upon hearing this, some people who had long heard that Liu Chun was no ordinary person immediately put down their submachine guns and fled from the four of them in fear.
Soon only the man in the suit remained!
Pang Wenke removed the steel shield blocking his way and faced the man in the suit directly: "Your turn. Look, the advantage is entirely on our side now. Do you have anything else to say?"
A moment later, the man in the suit finally obediently put down his weapon and slowly left the last floor of the rooftop.
Upon seeing this, Brother Man hurriedly passed through the group and entered the office.
He came out very quickly.
Liu Chun asked, "What's wrong?"
Brother Zhang Man looked utterly disappointed: "There's no one inside. Si Huajin probably ran away before we arrived."
The remaining three ran over to check again, and indeed there was no one inside. The entire office was empty, indicating that they had obviously run away some time ago.
Pang Wenke came out and comforted Brother Zhang Man, "Brother Zhang Man, let's go back first this time. We will continue to help you find Si Huajin's whereabouts afterward, and we will definitely not let him get away with it."
After coming out, Liu Chun put his phone away. The production team had already sent a letter saying that "Lurking" was about to officially start filming, and they hoped that the protagonist he was playing, "Yu Zecheng," could arrive early to prepare. The first scene would mainly focus on him.
"Brother Zhang Man, now that such a big thing has happened here, this factory can no longer operate. Those people will no longer have the chance to come back here and cause trouble. We've done our part in ridding society of a scourge." Liu Chun paused for a few seconds and continued, "However, we can't let Si Huajin who escaped get away with it. If we get any news about him, Captain Pang and I won't let him go. Don't worry."
Seeing that there was really no other way, and that Zhang Man had just been searching for Si Huajin's whereabouts with us, but it was dark outside and we couldn't see very clearly even up close, let alone in a completely dark area.
Brother Zhang Man sighed, "Alright then, let's go back first. After we find out where Si Huajin is, we'll come back together and take him down!"
"Yes, we'll come too," Pang Wenke echoed, completely disregarding what Pang Weixiong was thinking.
So they went downstairs and checked the workshop. All those boxes had already been moved clean by Si Huajin, leaving nothing behind, so they had no harvest.
So they openly walked out of the factory gate to hail a taxi and returned to Liu Chun's rented single room in the capital. They also completely sealed off the Hua Jin factory to ensure that the abandoned factory would no longer be used by people like Si Hua Jin.
……
He remembered that among the skills that the character "Yu Zecheng" presented on the system screen could inherit, there was one that could help Brother Zhang Man and the others find and track Si Huajin, and he was just about to choose that.
System panel open!
[Ding! Playable character detected. Character template system unlocked!]
Character Name: Yu Zecheng
[Personality: Wise yet unassuming, photographic memory, meticulous thinking, strong-willed, and resolute]
[Skills: Political maneuvering, intelligence gathering, identity disguise.]
[Character Background: Originally a Kuomintang military intelligence agent, later promoted to lieutenant colonel and deputy station chief of the Tianjin station of the Ministry of National Defense's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, secretly carrying out infiltration missions.]
"Next, it's time to unleash the skills of 'Yu Zecheng'. Maybe I can even master them by the time I truly inherit them, just like with 'Canhe Finger'. It's like killing multiple birds with one stone."
The only problem right now is that Liu Chun needs to temporarily withdraw from the search for Si Huajin and focus on completing the role of 'Yu Zecheng' according to the system's tasks to obtain the inherited skills.
After telling them about it, Brother Zhang Man and the others left, preparing to find a more secluded place so as not to disturb Liu Chun's filming work, since his place was really small.
……
After a good night's rest, Liu Chun appeared in front of his neighbors the next day in a completely new state, as if he had stayed in the rented room the whole time he had disappeared.
"Hey, Xiao Liu, off to the film set again?"
"Yes, Aunt Xiao, would you like some breakfast?"
"Okay."
A short while later, after saying goodbye to her neighbors, Liu Chun took a taxi to the film crew's work location and found the two directors.
Jiang Wei and Fu Wei!
"Hello, directors. I'm Liu Chun, a newcomer actor. I previously worked with director Zhang Jizhong on the role of 'Murong Fu,' and everyone thought I did a pretty good job." Liu Chun introduced himself fluently, though he had actually practiced these lines countless times at home.
The two directors looked at him together: "Stop, we don't want to hear any more of what you have to say. Just get ready and start filming. You can find a place to prepare now."
"OK."
Liu Chun found a quiet place on set to sit down, eat, and read the script, all in order to better understand the character and deliver her best performance.
Meanwhile, other actors arrived one after another. Among them, a young and handsome actor sat down next to him surrounded by a group of staff. Someone even held an umbrella for him, and the staff were all very gentle and attentive, as if afraid of upsetting him.
Liu Chun ignored him and continued to look at the script in her hand, looking exactly like a small extra doing useless work. She had very few lines, but she acted like a big star playing the lead role, pretending to be serious.
Suddenly, a soft, gentle voice came from the side, without a trace of roughness.
"Oh, reading the script? Let me tell you, I read it in the hotel; I don't need to read it on set."
Liu Chun looked up blankly, not knowing for a moment who was speaking.
"Don't bother looking, it's me who's talking. With a blockhead like you, don't drag me down when filming starts, honestly."
Realizing that someone next to him was talking, Liu Chun was thinking of getting up and leaving. He figured he could just go somewhere else, no big deal.
But when the man saw him stand up, he snorted coldly and said, "I just wanted to talk to you. You think you're so great just because you're a little extra with a few lines? Honestly, you don't know how to curry favor with your seniors. You deserve to be a little extra your whole life."
"Maybe. Anyway, I just need to memorize my lines. I don't care what others do. If you don't like chatting with me, then I'll just leave."
Seeing that Liu Chun was stunned for a while before replying, he got excited.
"Hmph, what an idiot. He must have gotten this role with lines through some connections. I hate people like that the most. I hope I never have to act with him again."
